Does the study account for the increase in rape through liberalised immigration policy over this time? > A total of 3 039 offenders were included in the analysis. A majority of them were immigrants (n = 1 800; 59.2%) of which a majority (n = 1 451; 47.7%) were born outside of Sweden. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8330751/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8330751/

> A majority of them were immigrants (n = 1 800; 59.2%) of which a majority (n = 1 451; 47.7%) were born outside of Sweden. How can you have an immigrant who was born inside of Sweden? They are no longer an immigrant then.

    If they were born in Sweden, they didn't migrate. There seems to be a confusion between immigrant and foreigner.

      > If they were born in Sweden, they didn't migrate. There seems to be a confusion between immigrant and foreigner. In the US, at least, there's a concept of the "generation" of an immigrant, and only the first generation would be born in a foreign country. So a second (and above) generation immigrant would not have migrated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigrant_generations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigrant_generations Also, at least in US English, I feel the term "foreigner" seems less politically correct than "immigrant," and honestly think I've hardly ever heard any native speakers use it. I think they use immigrant or some more specific label (e.g. Canadian, European). Nonnative speakers use "foreigner" a lot more frequently, and sometimes use it in weird ways (e.g. relative to their home country, so calling a native-born American a foreigner).

I was gonna say, without even reading the article, there is no way to pin down such a conclusion, as if men who had never raping before, suddenly turned to raping because they couldn’t visit a prostitute legally.

This study is a breakdown of the demographics of offenders, not an account of the increase in incidents of rape, unless I'm missing something. The increase is a key point of the original post.
